The River and the Sea
"The river is within us, the sea is all about us . . ."
— T S Eliot (Four Quartets)
How does the river run within the sea?
Like the coyote, bounding deer-like
in the soy bean field last evening,
and behind him the honeyed sun
a young girl’s hair, cascading among
the trees. He distanced gradually
from the road we cycled, his body
now disappearing beneath
the shrubby, wavy green, now
reappearing in the bob and bounce
of a cork retreating from shore. Like
a dream. Like a secret stone that leaps
as the sun sets, an opal, a tiger’s eye,
to the horizon, until he and the sun are one.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

ohhh - i loved them and wondered if they were doing something new when i listened to an old cd a couple weeks ago. thanks for the heads up.
First time I've heard them-- I like it!
...listening to them as I type:) I love NPR!
Susie, Hmm. Nice, but I'm still searching for the perfect background music for my novel-writing experience. These guys sing WORDS while they play, which only messes things up on my page.
My sweetie is a huge Los Lobos fan. I've seen them once in concert and liked them myself. Thanks for the info on this.
Timing is everything, Char! You're welcome!
Me, too, Elle!
Oliag, I love listening to their podcasts and the live streaming. NPR is awesome!
I don't know, Deb, it could make for some very interesting reading! I guess I'll have to find the perfect music for writing a novel.
You're welcome, Kathleen! Hope he likes it...I think they sound great!
